This is exactly my experience every night 🙈 first stretch we both get good sleep and then up almost every 30 min from 2am with the dummy. No advice, just can sympathise with you!

I have no advice but have this same issue so I feel your pain! I used to think it was because he was hungry but the amount of full bottles of milk we have thrown away because he wasn’t hungry, he just wanted his dummy, is ridiculous! Not sure if it’s something to do with their sleep cycle?

We have the same, my brother suffered it with their daughter too. Basically only stopped when she learned to put it back in herself (about 6 months) 😫 x

He sleeps from around 8-9 falls asleep till 5-6 aumtimes 7 but from 2 it’s were the dummy soon as he settles back off and by time I nod back off he’s lost it again 🥳 so am getting a good stretch of sleep but broken lol

@Chelsea mine fusses for the dummy because he's hungry so I would feed him at that point could that be the case for you? Once fed he may use the dummy to get back to sleep but he would then spit it out and sleep soundly

I’ve tried feeding him but he’s not interested lol , he sleeps well it’s just this looking for the dummy situation a feel like a dead bird

Oh gosh!!

We have been going through the same thing for about 3/4 weeks now so I feel your pain. It is STRESS. Patiently waiting for him to start sleeping better and stop whinging for his dummy 🙃

This is what happend with my first 😩 never have a dummy to my second !

Well blow the cobwebs off me , he was out for the count last night by 8 ! Was on my boob for 5 seconds and pulled away I burped and reintroduced not having any of it . He did have a big bottle of expressed milk around 6ish . But am now sat her since 5:30 his normal wake up time and he’s still sleeping !! … now is the dreaded dilemma to wake him up and feed him because my girls are getting rather full or pump ? Try not to wake him as it makes him really grumpy for the rest of the day , but can guarantee the moment I pump bang wide awake 🙈
